The little British computer that's taken the world by storm! It's the ideal way to take your first steps in coding, and our range of kits, add-ons, and accessories make it fun to learn with Raspberry Pi.

Arduino and other Arduino-compatible microcontrollers are perfect when you need a small, rock-solid controller for your project. Program them, pop them into your project, and they'll happily run forever.

Kits are great all-in-one bundles that make perfect gifts, holiday projects, or just as a way to get started with something. Most of our range of kits blend creativity and making with electronics and coding.

Breakouts add handy functions to your microcontroller, be it a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or something else. They tend to be dedicated to just one or a couple of functions, like audio output, motor driving, or sensors, but can be built up into larger projects.

This is where you'll find all sorts of handy bits and bobs for your projects, or just to stock up your kit box. Wires, LEDs, speakers, power supplies, header pins, sensors, integrated circuits, you name it!

LiPo Battery Pack

Give your project some grunt with these high-density LiPo batteries! We have a range of LiPo battery packs ranging from 150mAh all the way up to 2000mAh.

The ultimate range of high-quality LiPo battery packs - pick whichever offers the best performance/size for your project. These little guys pack a huge amount of energy - we've tested each version to ensure the datasheet specs are accurate and the safety features kick in when needed.

Note: LiPo batteries must be treated with respect and charged/discharged within the parameters listed in the datasheet, you should never dent, bend, puncture, crush, or otherwise damage them. You should only consider these kinds of batteries for your projects if you've done your research and understand the risks.

All our batteries come with a 10cm lead terminated with a standard 2-pole JST connector. They also include protection circuitry to ensure that they are not over-discharged/charged and are protected from short-circuits but you should still take care when using them.

﻿Features

3.7V nominal voltage

100mm JST terminated lead

Come 30% pre-charged for longer life storage

4.2V charging cut-off and 2.4V emergency discharge cut-off

Short circuit protection

Dimensions

150mAh

27 x 20.5 x 4.3mm

500mAh

37 x 30.5 x 5.3mm

1200mAh

64 x 35.5 x 5.3mm

2000mAh

62 x 38.5 x 8.3mm

3000mAh

80 x 50 x 6mm

You should avoid discharging these batteries beyond 3.0V - the emergency protection circuitry will kick in at 2.4V. If the battery bulges or is physically damaged it should be discarded. Do not charge unattended.

Holding charge nicely. Bought to use with the Adafruit Feather Huzzah - it's well-constructed with a decent length lead and a connector that snaps easily and snugly into place on the Huzzah.
Bought for using with work kit and will be buying one of these myself for home use :-)

It is very difficult to find suppliers of these batteries. So thank you for stocking these.

Great - does just what you expect. Fast, efficient delivery from Pimoroni.

Quite shocking how fast the delivery was...ordered early Friday morning and delivered by courier on Monday!
Almost moving the earth to get it here quickly!
Concerned about a potential difference in planned usage but expectations of the project design were kept grounded and current usage instructions for the battery were fine.
The charge was also fine and not much resistance was measured from the wallet....in fact a few more may be purchased soon to power a small set of Amps for some speaker phats!

I've had the 2000mAh version of this battery for some time, using it to drive the Pi 3B+ on our Pi Wars robot. (Separate power supply for the motors.) They are excellent quality, extremely reliable and do the job well.
So now I'm making wearables with Adafruit Flora and Gemma. Powering a Flora with accelerometer and 20 neopixels all day (about 8 hours wear time), the 2000mAh version only dropped .2V. But it's really a bit on the bulky side. I was wanting to get the 500mAh version, but they were out of stock, so I thought I'd give the 150mAh version a try - it's for a smaller project with 8 neopixels on a headband, driven by a Gemma. I haven't had a chance to stress-test it yet, but first try gives perfect results (as opposed to the 2*coin cell battery pack, which led to flickery LEDs). In fact, this battery works with the larger-scale 20 neopixel project as well - just not sure how long it would last. And the best thing about it is the size - tiny little thing that will be really unobtrusive in any wearables project.

Nice, compact size for the capacity.

Great, works as expected; no explosions, yet. Had it for a week or so.

Andre Lambelin

fast, efficient, good tracking, and the battery did exactly what I wanted it to do!!

Slimmer than I was expected and only had a couple of charges but so far great battery life

I bought the 2000maH version of this and it feels like a quality item. Charges and discharges great and I dont have to worry about buying questionable batteries from less reputable sellers. I prefer to spend a little more for something of known provenance. Perfect for use with the MP2636 board they sell.

Excellent battery, I used it for powering a Pi-Zero W and a Pimoroni Hyper Pixel display by connecting it to the powerboost 1000 and it works great.

I bought the Adabox001 to use as a base for playing around with Arduino and IoT, unfortunately the 500mAh LiPo battery was out of stock but I got the 150mAh version instead to play around with.
Not sure what I was expecting really, but the battery is so much smaller than i thought and is a perfect size to put into a small project where you only need limited run time and can then charge it backup again via the USB cable on the Feather 32u4. I worked out that the 150mAh should run for between 1.5 hours and 3 hours depending on the load.
This is sufficient time to work with say the GPS Featherwing shield and make a GPS logging device (the Feather 32u4 in the Adabox has a SD Card slot so you can record the GPS coordinates to it) or even to use with the Feather with Bluetooth and to make the excellent Bluetooth Cherry MX Key Gamepad that Adafruit have in their learning section.
The built in protection means that when the battery is charged it stops taking more and the voltage sits at a constant 4.16v without the charge LED of the Feather being lit anymore. Removing the USB cable and you watch using the serial console of the Arduino IDE the voltage drop until it is reaches the minimum and the board is powered off.
